The Little Book of Christmas

Green Cat Books launched a competition in August 2024 for budding authors to submit a short story up to 5000 words about Christmas. With the prize being that they would become a published author.
Chosen stories would be compiled into one book which would be published in December 2024.

The authors could purchase copies of the book at a discounted price. Which they could give to family, friends or sell themselves.
